Recent Reviews in La Rambla

Nice hotel close to everything

4 out of 5

The hotel is clean, nice decor, friendly staff. The only shortfall is the TV programs. Besides CNN and BBC, are all in Spanish without the option to change the language in audio or subtitle. If you think this is no biggy to you then you may consider the walking distance from Placa Catalunya square. This hotel is located almost at the end of La Rambla Street.

The Petit Palace is perfectly located for walking Barcelona, and Barcelona is a great walking town. We found entertainment, food, great sight seeing, and a lovely private quiet patio in the center of old town. This hotel is a great value. Staff were very helpful, very knowledgeable, and always friendly. Recommendations were excellent. We found places we would have missed without their suggestion. This is not grand luxury, it is friendly, convenient, comfortable and clean. Highly recommended.
